In the \"b\" mode, you play as one of the prisoners and have to stay alive for as long as possible. The main issue is that all the prisoners look the same so it's hard to distinguish which one is you. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to fix the issue. I'll try to remaster the game when I get the chance, I think it deserves it","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"sheepycrunch","author_uid":"1188575","time":"2020-04-22T17:31:09Z","epoch":1587576669,"modified":1587576669,"text":"Can't figure that \"a\"and \"b\" means, although it has great concept.

The first mode was probably too difficult, I couldn't keep the prisoners alive for more than a few seconds. The second mode, on the other hand, felt a bit too easy, since the player may just spam attack.

Also, it would be nice to see how much time you played or so.\n\nWhen I hold left mouse button in Save Everyone mode, the game crashes after a few seconds.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Evan Minto","author_uid":"1020346","time":"2020-05-05T01:19:48Z","epoch":1588641588,"modified":1588641588,"text":"Great music and I like the visual style (the prisoners are super abstracted but still animated, which is cool).\n\nLike other folks, I couldn't keep the prisoners alive for more than a few seconds in the first mode and was able to easily stay alive the whole time in the second one. Because of the lack of clarifying animations and the fact that the game instantly resets when you get a game over, I couldn't figure out WHY I kept losing. It seemed like there were still prisoners left alive each time.\n\nThat said, this is a cool concept and I think with some tweaks it could work. I'd love to have more ways of influencing prisoner behavior rather that just the whistle.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/187162-d4442e919be8616c9f25ef12c6ce6863.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/oxters168\/ldjam46","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/oxsaphi.itch.io\/shiver","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"59019","g_author":"1187159","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"269934","g_title":"Shiver","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"2353","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"187162","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"187162","n_urlkey":"269934","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/shiver","n_slug":"shiver","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"187159","n_created":"1586979990","n_modified":"1587474717","n_version":"615763","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":187162,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":187159,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-20T21:38:30Z","created":"2020-04-15T19:46:30Z","modified":"2020-04-21T13:11:57Z","version":615763,"slug":"shiver","name":"Shiver","body":"Shiver has two game modes.
